Do you commission other artists?

I would like to but I have little excess money.

If I was able to do commissions of my own though I would love to pay it forward by using most of that money to commission other artists.

I certainly dont pay faggots like aeromatic or hylics to shit out

no, but I commission people to buy groceries for me, or fix my car, or unclog my drains. We as humans need other humans to do certain things beacuse nobody has time to be good at everything..

you don't sound as smart as you think you do

I wish I was as smart as this anonymous poster

Its only worth it for me personally if it involves physical media. Artist Alleys were always a fun time to get posters and stuff, but the real draw of course was getting cheap requests in, get a decent drawing of whatever character I was into at the time, throw em a tip, its all good vibes and the work that I get isnt just a drawing of an anime charcater with big tiddies that I like, but a memory.
Without that draw though I wouldnt even bother with commissions, like I'll maybe throw an artist a couple of bucks whether its patreon or Kofi or something. As far as getting actual art though Ive gotten to a point where, even though Im not great at art by any means, if there is some character that I want art of or a specific thing I want to be drawn, I just draw it myself. Even in a scenario where I could get art for free I dont see the point in bothering someone else.
If I were to pay an artist I would want like actual collaboration and stuff on like a bigger project, aside from that I just throw em a buck or two(cant even afford that anymore at the moment).
Like pic related was an artist I supported a ways back and got this request back from, but If I got into contact with this fuck again I would just pass him 5 bucks and not even bother to get some art from em even though they could do some good smut.

... you don't know how to buy groceries?

>>7685464 (OP)
No. I could see myself doing it, though, if I were releasing a game or comic and wanted like, alternate covers or funky ingame posters.
Or if I was simply doing really well, no reason not to spread some of the cash around to artists I actually like.

Anon, this isn't Reddit, being unable to buy food or unclog your shitter just makes you look like a bitch, however you try to spin it.

first rule of making money with commisions, dont commision other artists

Also for sauce the artist was holland btw in case anyone asked, but he used to go by a lot of different names so it was hard to find him again. Some good pieces, big improvement, worth looking at

>>7685464 (OP)
Yes, I've commissioned artists in hopes they'd teach me,
They always decline

He knows how, he's just not pro level.

>Google "holland artist"
Yeah, I'm never going to find this guy.

>>7686248
Search Holland danbooru. Probably easier to find like that
